The Five Boroughs

New York City is made up of five boroughs: the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens and Staten Island. Each one has enough attractions—and enough personality—to be a city all its own. Learn more about them with this guide.

West Harlem Piers Park

West Harlem Piers Park

125th St. at the Hudson River

New York, NY

description/

In summer 2008, the long-awaited West Harlem Piers Park opened to the public, much to the joy of uptown residents and visitors. Back in the day, the Harlem Piers was a busy outdoor space, where people could watch the ferries shooting across the Hudson from Manhattan to the Palisades Amusement Park. Then it was demolished, but today it thrives again, featuring bike racks, patches of green grass and great views of our Jersey neighbors.
